CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 468

A wireless access point is going to be configured in a small office located in a crowded building.
Which of the following should the installation technician perform to increase the security of the wireless network? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Reduce the transmit power
• B. Reduce the channel availably
• C. Disable the DHCP server
• D. Enable QoS management
• E. Disable the SSID broadcast
• F. Implement WPA encryption

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Reducing the transmit power helps to limit the range of the wireless signal, making it less accessible to unauthorized users outside the intended area. Disabling the SSID broadcast hides the network name, contributing to security by making it harder for potential attackers to discover the network. The other options do not directly enhance wireless security or are not applicable in this scenario.
